Seattle International Butoh Festival 2024

Presented by DAIPANbutoh Collective, the Seattle International Butoh Festival 2024 features guest artists Mari Osanai (Japan), Eugenia Vargas (Mexico) and Tebby Ramasike (South Africa/Netherlands) to be held at YAW Theater in Georgetown. Mari and Eugenia will perform and teach workshops. Tebby’s work will be presented through videos of his dance embedded in the weekend festival and in a special free pre-festival event focused on his work including an interview created with DAIPAN member Dhyana Garcia in Paris with video excerpts of his performances followed by a Q&A on November 16 at the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts in Pioneer Square. DAIPAN is pleased to include Tebby in this year’s festival, who unfortunately was not able to attend in person. Works by DAIPAN members will be offered as well. DAIPAN is excited to be bringing three well-known international performers and teachers from three different parts of the world to our November 22-24 festival with performances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening and workshops on Saturday and Sunday daytime. Mari will also teach a special workshop on November 21 at Teatro de la Psychomachia, Suite A in Sodo.
